We are happy to announce the opening day of our Produce and Information Stand!
The children of our youth program and several volunteers had a hand in tending the earth and growing veggies. Earlier this summer, they diligently worked to build the stand to bring the “fruits of their labor” to your table!!
On September 7th the kids and volunteers will staff the Produce Stand to sell fresh produce, herbs, local peaches and other healthy goodies, each Saturday morning from 9:30 AM – 12 noon, through September 28th, 2013.
In addition, we will have information regarding organic gardening and other resources to find out more about our local CSAs and organic grocery stores. Lastly, the public can learn more about what they can do to ensure every family has access to healthier food options in our area.
Look for the Produce and Information Stand in front of the gardens at 423 Chestnut Street in Pottstown, (you canʼt miss us)!!
Priced right for you, all of the proceeds from the produce stand will enable MOSAIC to continue to develop workshops and other fun, educational activities for young and old alike; while educating individuals in food justice and security. All the while, the young farmers will be learning sales skills, marketing and public relations.
Now, for a special thanks to our sponsor: Global Advanced Metals of Boyertown, for their generous donation and support. Global Advanced Metals processes a metal called “tantalum,” found in Australia. Their core values of safety, health and environmental excellence guide the work that they do and dovetails nicely with our healthy outlook too!!
Local honey will be available for purchase as well. The garden has its own bee hive for pollination, tended by Lee Mauger.
